Kelly Reynolds, who is studying MSc Environment and Climate Change, is a ScottishPower Foundation Scholarship student.

Talking about the fund, Kelly said: “Receiving the Scottish Power IBERDROLA Scholarship has meant such a great deal. It has allowed me to stay at a university I love without having to take on an additional job to help fund my studies. I can concentrate completely on my work, and then hopefully carry on to PhD level where I would like to pursue a career in research.”
